Key Applications
DNA precipitation | Chromosome isolation | Crystallization of DNA
| SKU | 02152070-CF |
| Alternate Names | Diaminopropyltetramethylenediamine; Gerontine; Musculamine; Neuridine; N,N-bis(aminopropyl)-1,4-butanediamine; 4,9-Diaza-1,12-dodecanediamine |
| Base Catalog Number | 152070 |
| Beilstein Registry Number | 1750791 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | Mixed NMDA glutamate receptor agonist/antagonist at the polyamine site. Neuroprotective effects have been observed at high concentrations (1 mM), while neurotoxicity is observed at lower concentrations. It enhances agonist effectiveness at the strychnine-insensitive glycine site. Plays a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation; inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). |
